"Alright, settle down for a moment. You can get to your vote in a moment." To'ran stated as he stood in the entrance between the cockpit and passenger area. "First, I want to remind you all that 'officially', we are still a part of the New Republic Military, so protocol's are still in place...which I know means nothing to most of you, but we will follow them." This got a few small chuckles from some.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Mir, but it is my understanding that we might be on the fringe of vigilantism, but this is still supported by the New Republic, at least those parts of it that know about this fleet. On paper, it might look like all these ships, personnel, troops, etc are assigned elsewhere, decommissioned or otherwise "unavailable", but resources are still be funneled in to make a clandestine fighting force.

I also took this to mean that this is an entire fleet operation, not just one squadron against an entire Imperial navy, so it would stand to reason there are support craft, at least minimal (but probably elite) ground troops, and all the other necessary pieces if this strike force that is going to be doing more than just minor harassment missions.

Although this hasn't been said, I feel that there is an implication that the Green Squadron members were not picked solely for their piloting skills, but also for other skills and abilities they may have. They are intended to be a bit more well rounded then just average pilots.
